Parking lot

A FAQ would be: What about the identity story? What about where the identity of the RO would be stored vs where the consents would be stored? (thinking of Eve's "scenario 1", which is the UK Blue Badge one) 

FAQ idea

We should add FAQs in the doc itself, to answer questions right as they arise in readers' minds, such as:

  • Once data is unshared, doesn't the recipient already have the data? What happens after that?
  • This model seems to assume that the enterprise doesn't have any overarching policy itself, and just allows a user to have any sharing policy they wish. Is that correct?
    • This relates to the larger topic of moving the setting on the continuum of org/individual control more towards the individual; see "blockchain identity use case"
  • What are specific burdens around PHI vs generic PII?

Let's collect these and be as "pointed" as possible in formulating them. We can decide how and where to answer them as we go.

Funded legal analysis and use case work

Eve reached out to Karsten, who likely doesn't have time for the work himself, but who has kindly made himself available to chat with Eve to suggest next steps. She will take action on this.

Eve suggests that we should decide, by the end of the year, which deliverables to produce in 2017 as "toolkits" (of some sort) for all of the frameworks out there. We discussed our rationale for this: It's to get from our very early stage of UMA adoption to exactly one evolutionary stage further. (smile) Meaning, we recognize that organizations have incentives to gather data, sometimes act badly towards less-empowered parties (individuals in the main), and so on, and we are looking to demonstrate benefits to those organizations – particularly business and legal audiences -- of the use of UMA through educational materials and reduce friction in using UMA through our "toolkits" (which could be model clauses, could be BCR tools, could be consent receipt templates or profiles, etc.).

This is basically a further sharpened mission proposal, if you compare to our 2015 and 2016 versions.

AI: Eve: Propose a sharpened mission statement on the list for review.

Regarding the number of use cases in the world: The hope is that it's more like prepositions (a couple of dozen in English) vs verbs (essentially infinite)! But if there are really any number of them, probably we'll have to identify the most common ones that have lots of examples that hew to a pattern, and leave the "long tail" ones alone. Eve is planning to document these briefly in the wiki and prepare them for our hoped-for legal expert to review, so that we can get to a place where our "toolkits" can supply good tools that map neatly to GDPR interpretations.
